CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices)

CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) are digital integrated circuits that can be programmed to perform specific logic operations. They consist of multiple programmable logic blocks called macrocells, which are interconnected by a configurable routing matrix. These devices retain their configuration even after power loss, making them ideal for applications that require reliable, predictable performance. CPLDs are commonly used to implement control logic, simple state machines, and digital interfacing tasks where quick startup and low power consumption are important.
